What foods, vitamins, morning routines, and more give them the most energy.

History is supposed to guide us toward a better future; at least, that’s the argument for Anya Kamanetz’s new book " The Stolen Year: How COVID Changed Children’s Lives, and Where We Go Now."

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!
